Annual Scholarship Awards
Professional Jamaicans for Jamaica, Inc. scholarship competition is geared towards less fortunate students to offset their education cost.
Quality education will always have costs involved; teachers and other educators will need to be compensated for their time and efforts, and certain disciplines require expensive, specialized equipment to train students. Professional Jamaicans for Jamaica, Inc. established a scholarship competition in 2010 for deserving students attending high schools in Jamaica.
The scholarship offered is an essay-writing competition named in honor of Ms. Esmie L. Walters, a typical Jamaican mother who committed her life to her children; she withstood the trials and tribulations as a single mother, nurtured her children with all her love, and constantly reminded them of the importance of education.
Our organization has now established a scholarship to provide financial assistance to students pursuing tertiary level education. We are cognizant that students will require funding to complete the education process.

While we anticipate the attendance rate of the students to increase, our vision to establish the Breakfast Project is as follows:
- Studies have shown that access to nutritious programs such as the School Breakfast Program helps to create a strong learning environment for children and helps to improve children’s concentration in the classroom.
- Providing breakfast in the classroom has been shown in several instances to improve attentiveness and academic performance, while reducing tardiness and disciplinary referrals.
- Students who eat a complete breakfast have been shown to make fewer mistakes and work faster in math exercises than those who eat a partial breakfast. Studies also suggest that eating breakfast closer to the classroom and test-taking time improves student performance on standardized tests relative to students who skip breakfast.
